Angle announced he signed a 5-year contract with WWE. He said he has no current intention to step back in the ring, but if a story line called for it he would.

“I don’t plan on wrestling again. You know if ever something came about. Maybe my son[kayfabe], Jason Jordan, comes back and wants me to tag with him maybe. But for the most part I’m good,” Angle said.
